Daytime Emmy Nominees: Ladies Who Lunch Gallery

It has become a yearly tradition that the winner from the previous year’s ceremony hosts the current crop of Daytime Emmy nominees in the Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress category. This year it was Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy, Bold and Beautiful) who had the honor, and she did something a little different — by inviting all the female nominees (including those in the Supporting and Fuest categories). The fun luncheon was held at The Rooftop at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, and NATAS sponsors Chemist Spirits and Biltmore Wines provided gift bags to the ladies. Click on the gallery to see the star-studded snaps shared from the event.
